The entire two weeks around Christmas and New Years should be paid holidays for everyone. Going to work this time of year sucks.

The Muppet Christmas Carol should be a reminder to all of us that you should live your life in such a way that the muppets won't sing a diss track about you every time you go for a walk about town.

Never once in my life have I heard a cogent argument for why we should keep the practice of changing our clocks between standard time and daylight saving time.
It needs to stop.
I don't care which version of time we keep.
Stop changing the damn clocks.

I like looking at the Global Achievements tab in Steam.
It's an interesting way to see where people fall off of the game, especially in those games where they give achievements for story progress.

#Metroid Prime 2:
Luminoth: *nearly extinct after decades of war*
Samus: *shows up*
Luminoth: "You look capable. Would you mind saving us?"
Samus: *ends the war in a few hours, never says a word*
Luminoth: "Cool, thanks!"
Samus: 👍 *leaves*

Replaying Metroid Prime, and I'm at the endgame point with all the beams, collecting all the, uh, collectables.
And, like, you kinda have to admire the bravery of the Space Pirates who, despite having just seen the Hunter *literally* incinerate their entire squad, still try to take her down.

I don't really know much of anything about the VTuber scene beyond the occasional youtube clip, but even I've heard about the Ironmouse situation and the subsequent fallout.
Sounds like VShojo did a great job of screwing themselves over. *slow clap*

I only eat ginger snaps the way my dad taught me to: spreading butter on each individual cookie.

for example, I eat string cheese by just biting right into the stick

Donald Trump just signed a bill into law that'll kick 17 million people off their health care and make it harder for families to put food on the table.
Republicans sold you out so billionaires can get even richer.

I swear, little old ladies (as a whole) have not changed one bit since I was a kid in the 90s.
It's like they make them in a factory somewhere and haven't changed the form factor in decades.

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash.
None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None.
But a LOT are caused by bigots.

Ok, we all know the "Canada should become part of the US" thing is pretty fucking stupid.
But, like, why are they talking about making *all* of Canada the 51st state? Wouldn't each province be integrated as its own state?
I know, I know, stupid question. It just bugs me.

Just saw The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim in a theater. I liked it.
Pretty good way to tell one of the stories from the appendices of the book.
I do wish they had strayed from the live action depiction of Edoras, made it brighter with less of the stereotypical medieval-muddy coloring
